Here are the beginnings of the 914 IROC pace car. I'm getting the body up to snuff, and it will be finished by Henry. Hopefully this one will benefit from what I learned on mine; the roof panel should be removable on this one. This one was partially built and had some damage, the body was twisted and the targa band was broken free at the top. I had to bend the body liberally and weld the targa back in place, and gluing the rear bumper in place also helped square it up. I didn't have another good donor for vent posts, so I made them from sheet material and I'll cut open the windows.

At the "spring cleaning" there were some leftover 914 parts in a box from Bill Cunningham's finished 914, and thankfully they were available to replace some of the parts from the yellow car that had glue or paint damage.
